These are clearly two people who "see" things differently! Anyway, Ted said to Richard (this is from memory don't expect an exact quote)..."As you get older you're going to find yourself wrong on some points and right on others, but please in the process of it, don't be arrogant." I realize that was Ted's polite way of calling Richard arrogant, but he makes a point (I love when people I disagree with make points that I agree with). We may see things differently, but we can still have civilized conversations (and arguments) if we avoid arrogance (easier said than done).Super Happy Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322495551769344674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-33307722061317888792007-07-30T13:45:00.000-04:002007-07-30T13:45:00.000-04:00Thanks, John.

However, having been immersed in apologetics and ministry for two decades, I feel I can at times provide substantive comments or questions. Having said that, I am perusing the archives to become better versed in the various POV's and philosophical roots of DB’s contributors. I am both excited and nervous about where this journey is taking me.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07058424176773515878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-4202409364288734642007-07-30T13:20:00.000-04:002007-07-30T13:20:00.000-04:00jospeh, I think I was rambling a bit, and I even m...jospeh, I think I was rambling a bit, and I even made a major revision, deleting the grading system. I made several points, so it's probably hard to understand a main point from it all. I'm mainly curious as to when I can know if a person is lacking in understanding or whether our disagreements are a matter of "seeing" things differently. I offered some clues as to which is which, and I suggested a way we can all try harder to understand each other. <BR/><BR/>Jospeh said...<I>"My post is more D-level stuff, than B.

(i.e. "My post is more D-level stuff, than B. Maybe I should give this post second thoughts if responding to a B level argument.") Or are you saying that you prefer to have exchanges with individuals who have specific degrees in theology, philosophy, and religion? I suspect that if I have this question, others might as well.
